Burn Rubber—The Gap Band

right now, this is the best song i’ve ever heard

Fad Gadget, as inspired by the ILM thread.

XTC—Beeswax

Essential Fripp & Eno

Dinosaur Jr.—Bug

Sundar, have you heard all four parts of that “Say No More” series? Really fantastic stuff.

No, actually that was the first time I heard any Ostertag. It’s really good though.

Now I’m listening to the Gandharvas—A Soap Bubble and Inertia. This morning, I was listening to Sly & the Family Stone, Robert Johnson, and Howlin’ Wolf. Went to sleep to Jobim/Regina—Elis & Tom last night, which is great.

Your post reminded me to listen to Evening Star last evening and to order Equatorial Stars.

Sufjan Stevens—Songs for Christmas (Ned, stop rolling yr eyes!)

I can’t stop listening to it. Unsettling in a 70s Residents fashion.

yesterday I listened to felt on my walk—the strange idol patterns and other short stories and ignite the seven cannons. now I am listening to the quintessential LA band—Lavender Diamond. the ep. sorry jody.

Boards of Canada—Trans-Canada Highway

Also, Jim O’Rourke—Scend

Silversun Pickups—Carnavas

Gandharvas—Kicking In the Water

I gotta say A Soap Bubble and Inertia has really impressed me. I didn’t realize they were so eclectic (and sometimes got so heavy) on the sprawling album tracks. I can see the Jane’s/FNM comparisons much better now. Every song is interesting.

dc snipers/tampoffs split 7“

I went to school with a couple dudes from DC Snipers and even lived with them for a short time. How’s the 7”?

shiina ringo—“stoicism”

Michael Mayer—Immer 2. Really kinda fucking great.

Thanks to Sundar I’ve been listening to the whole “Say No More” quartet tonight. My wife came into the office and said, “Look, that shit’s just crazy, okay?”

Is the Metheney Mehldau thing new? How is it?

I don’t know why I’m asking, because I never quite like Metheney somehow, but I do like Mehldau.

charalambides- vintage burden

I forced a friend of mine to burn this from me last night. FORCED. THERE WAS VIOLENCE. Not really, but it shore is good.

Metheny Mehldau is from this year. I like it so far. It’s very straightforward and easy to follow but they’re good tunes played with sensitivity, recorded very well. Some of it might possibly be a little samey (a lot of ballads). The musicians connect well with each other and everything flows smoothly. Metheny plays electric on all but one track but only gets really into the FX on one track.

Oh wait, he plays acoustic on 2 tracks, I think.

I’d be more interested in MM if it was all with a rhythm section.

How come dudes don’t do jazz throwdown albums anymore? You know, like Rich vs. Roach. You could have the Dave Holland Quintet vs. Mehldau’s group, playing together, playing each other’s tunes, etc, you know it would be awesome.

Really, Jordan? I love the more intimate duo stuff, where it’s just like an elaborate private dialogue. I guess you’re more of a groove guy, though(?). Hey BTW did you (or anyone) hear the Frisell/Carter/Motian album? I’m interested in it of course. Frisell/deJohnette was a real letdown.

Cream—Disraeli Gears

Siouxsie and The Banshees—The Scream

Chic/Sister Sledge—singles.

ricardo villalobos—fitzheuer zieheuer. Like falling down a hole for 40 minutes and watching strange things float past you. Oddly addictive.

Vengelis Conquest of Paradise!!

Matthew Herbert

Jim Noir

I really need some new music.

I guess you’re more of a groove guy, though(?).

Guilty. I haven’t heard that new Frisell album...I never even got around to hearing Unspeakable, which I was really excited about.

I don’t suppose you’ve heard that deJohnette/Goldings/Scofield Lifetime band? It seems like it could be great or really jammy.
